TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and in particular, to a voltage regulator and a resonant gate driver of the voltage regulator.

BACKGROUND

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, DVFS) is a technology that effectively reduces power consumption. As density of a design area of a chip increases, a response speed, on-chip integration, and energy efficiency become three corresponding important features of a voltage regulator.

In a basic structure of a voltage regulator, especially in a system with a high on-chip switching frequency, most loss comes from loss of a parasitic capacitor of a power transistor and conduction loss of a body diode. Currently, a structure, of a resonant gate driver (Resonant gate driver), that effectively reduces the foregoing two types of loss has been put forwarded. That is, two PMOS transistors, an affiliated diode of the PMOS transistors, two NMOS transistors, an affiliated diode of the NMOS transistors, and an inductor are used to control turn-on and turn-off of two power transistors. Specifically, a turn-on operation on a power transistor may include a process of charging a parasitic capacitor of the power transistor and a process of discharging an inductor; and a turn-off operation on the power transistor may include a process of discharging the parasitic capacitor of the power transistor and a process of discharging the inductor.

However, as mentioned above, the response speed and on-chip integration are also important features of the voltage regulator. In addition, generally, higher on-chip integration requires a faster response speed. Therefore, a response speed of a driver of the voltage regulator also needs to be increased.

FIG. 4 a to FIG. 4 c show diagrams of a simplified procedure in which the resonant gate deriver turns on and turns off the first power transistor 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 4 a is a process of turning on the first power transistor 110, that is, charging a parasitic capacitor C1 of the first power transistor 110. By controlling a voltage of the control end of the second switch S2, the second switch S2 is connected, and therefore the parasitic capacitor C1 can be charged. After a period of time, the power transistor 110 is connected when a voltage of a gate electrode of the first power transistor 110 exceeds a threshold voltage. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 b, FIG. 4 b is a process of discharging the inductor LR, where energy of the inductor LR is returned to the power supply U in this process, which can save energy.

For a detailed procedure, reference may be made to the foregoing procedure of turning on and turning off the first power transistor 110.

It should be noted that connection and disconnection of all the first switch S₁, the second switch S₂, the third switch S₃, the fourth switch S₄, the fifth switch S₅ and the sixth switch S₆ may be logically controlled by the modulation circuit 140. When a voltage of the control end of the foregoing switch is logically controlled at a high level, the switch is connected; and when the voltage of the control end of the foregoing switch is logically controlled at a low level, the switch is disconnected. In an actual application, a moment when the control end of each of the foregoing switches needs to be controlled at a high level or a low level may be preset in the modulation circuit 140 according to an actual requirement. In addition, a person skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing switches may also be switch tubes that have a similar function.

In a driving period of the voltage regulator shown in FIG. 1, the resonant gate driver in this embodiment needs to perform a turn-on operation and a turn-off operation on power transistors twice, that is, turn on the first power transistor 110 and turn off the first power transistor 110, and turn on the second power transistor 120 and turn off the second power transistor 120.

According to the foregoing analysis, driving a single power transistor by the resonant gate driver in this embodiment may be concluded as the following three steps, and in a driving period, the following steps are performed twice:

-   -   step 01: a process of charging the parasitic capacitor.     -   step 02: Discharge the inductor and return energy.     -   step 03: Discharge the parasitic capacitor and store energy of         the inductor.

Driving a single power transistor by using a structure of an existing resonant gate driver described in the BACKGROUND may be concluded as the following four steps, and in a driving period, the following steps are performed twice:

-   -   step 11: a process of charging the parasitic capacitor;     -   step 12: Discharge the inductor and return energy;     -   step 13: Discharge the parasitic capacitor and store energy of         the inductor; and     -   step 14: Discharge the inductor and return energy.

If 50 ns is used as a step unit of a driving period of the resonant gate driver, a simulation test on power transistor driving by the resonant gate driver in the prior art and the resonant gate driver in this embodiment of the present invention is performed, and a schematic diagram of comparison between driving periods of two structures may be obtained. As shown in FIG. 6, it may be seen that the resonant gate driver in this embodiment of the present invention saves time of two times of inductor discharging in the prior art, and therefore when compared with the prior art, shortens the driving period by about 25% and increases a response speed. In addition, compared with the prior art, the resonant gate driver in this embodiment of the present invention reduces a step of driving the power resonant, and therefore can reduce complexity of a logical unit that is responsible for controlling a switch of the resonant gate driver.

It should be noted that, although a driving circuit that is applied to a voltage regulator is used as an example to describe the resonant gate driver put forward in the present invention, a person skilled in the art should understand that an application scenario of the present invention should not be limited thereto. The new-type resonant gate driver put forward in the present invention can also be applied to another similar circuit, for example, a driving circuit of a power switch component. In addition, although the foregoing embodiment uses FIG. 4 a to FIG. 4 c and FIG. 5 a to FIG. 5 c as an example to describe in detail a possible implementation manner of the resonant gate driver in the present invention, a person skilled in the art should understand that a specific current direction of the resonant gate driver in the present invention should not be limited thereto, and a logical level value of the control end of each switch can be flexibly set according to an application scenario.
